I will need to look for further information about the source.

I am currently working on my mother&#39;s New Brunswick, Canada ancestors. Sometime in the coming year I hope to return to the Dutch ancestors as well. I have found that Dutch genealogists are so kind and helpful. Thank you so much for these links and information. clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633166197808433754.post-25098864268389642662014-01-18T10:08:11.132-07:002014-01-18T10:08:11.132-07:00BTW, I just noticed that you have a pretty clear p...BTW, I just noticed that you have a pretty clear photograph of Gradus van den Boom, a man that died in 1863 according to your tree. In the Netherlands, the state of photography wasn&#39;t advanced enough in the 1860s to produce a photograph like that. Are you sure that picture is of him?Yvette Hoitinkhttp://www.dutchgenealogy.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633166197808433754.post-52400470336051440902014-01-18T10:06:01.561-07:002014-01-18T10:06:01.561-07:00Hi,

For example, the marriage record of Gradus van den Boom and Johanetta Schumacher can be found here: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-10533-1249-40?cc=2026223&amp;wc=M94W-W14:n126911050 They married in &#39;s-Hertogenbosch on 21 May 1836. It shows that Gradus served in the militia (schutterij) at the time of his marriage, in a unit that was mobilized as a result of Belgium&#39;s bid for independence. The record contains a lot more information. The second page of the marriage record: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-10533-1663-30?cc=2026223&amp;wc=M94W-W14:n126911050 includes signatures of the bride and groom.<br />There is a lot more information waiting to be found. On my website at http://www.dutchgenealogy.nl, you can find several articles that will show you how to find this information.Yvette Hoitinkhttp://www.dutchgenealogy.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633166197808433754.post-55158706983807189332013-12-29T12:37:26.992-07:002013-12-29T12:37:26.992-07:00This is really amazing (and I mean it!).

I had a lot of trouble reading some of the letters in the handwriting though - you have a lot more patience than I do!Jean (aka Auntie Bucksnort)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09674554298987110017noreply@blogger.com
